Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to the world of American Gods as you've never heard it before . . .
First published in 2001, Neil Gaiman's masterpiece, American Gods, is the New York Times bestselling novel that told the story of Shadow, an ex-con whose life took an unexpected turn when he became bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster and rogue, "Mr. Wednesday."
But Shadow's story did not end with the last scene of American Gods. In "The Monarch of the Glen," we follow Shadow to an isolated castle in Scotland, where he becomes embroiled in an ongoing battle between men and monsters. And in "Black Dog," Shadow travels to a small village in England where he is befriended by a local couple with a dark past . . . and its ghosts.
Now, for the first time ever - and available exclusively on vinyl - these masterpieces of imaginative genius are performed by an all-star cast helmed by Sir Derek Jacobi and featuring the return of Daniel Oreskes as Shadow and Maggi-Meg Reed as Bast. Accompanied by the talented voices of Michael Emerson, Marc Thompson, Peter Forbes, Katherine Kingsley, David Rintoul, Siobhan Redmon, Daniel Weyman, and Adjoa Andoh, this superb recording is a true audiophile's delight.
